    I just, can’t imagine running out of tv shows??? I have probably 8 or so on my to-be-watched list, and the list only gets longer. I’ve watched 1 season each of 2 shows (Foundation S1 & Golden Compass S3) this YEAR. Oh and maybe Rings of Power was this year, too.

      It happens pretty quickly for me. I usually watch a whole season in one sitting though. I absolutely will not watch a TV show unless it has multiple seasons for this reason.

    Ive watched sg-1 the most, for sure. Yet, I keep revisiting old favorites and rewatching in a cycle. Sopranos, the wire, star trek tng, ds9, mr robot, the shield, sons of anarchy, peaky blinders are some ive rewatched in the past 2 years. It has become more like a revolving door in the past few years rather than one certain favorite.

    Im planning on binging the bear s1 and s2 when ive finished with s2 as I feel I missed some details that could be good during a rewatch.

      @LeafyBirch SG-1 and Atlantis here, too. As Time Goes By. West Wing. Daria. Eerie, Indiana.

      We’re currently re-watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and I think it’ll join the rotation.

          God I tried to rewatch eureka, I so dearly loved that show. I got the kids in front of the TV and I said this is a fantastic sci-fi series with all kinds of great high concept stuff you’re going to love it.

          They did not, in fact, love it.

          So internally I’m all screw you guys You don’t know what you’re missing I’m going to watch it.

          I don’t remember the pilot being this long and slow, I’m just forgetting I’m sure I’ll pick up an episode two, I got a few minutes into episode 3 and just couldn’t.

          The acting is shakier than I remember the effects don’t hold up. I have to stop before I ruined my memory of loving it. I miss the show so much Henry was a badass.

      re-watching it now. Such a remarkably consistent show.

    I typically resort to reading when I run out of good shows to watch.

    For me, SpongeBob up until the first movie, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Adventure Time, old Top Gear, King of the Hill, and the king of them all is Futurama.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation. Watching that is the TV version of getting comfy under a warm blanket.

    Off the top of my head, Battlestar Galactica (the reboot, never watched the original) and Firefly

    Star Trek Next Gen, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager are my go to bidges. Sometimes I just have them on as background because I’ve seen them so many times.

    The Pokemon anime is a reliable watch for me when I’m feeling nostalgic. Also great for practicing my Japanese listening skills on Netflix Japan.

    Avatar the Last Airbender and Korra. Love the worlds these shows create, and I always seem to catch new details through each rewatch.

    Steven Universe- On my second watch through, and am actually starting to prefer the slice of life episodes more than the first time around. God tier music.

    We Bare Bears- Such a cute wholesome show. Definitely a great comfort show.

    Monk, House, and Psych- There was a time where I just watched a lot of TBS, and these were my favorite shows from there. Sean and Guss from Psych is probably one of my favorite bromances from television.

    Might add more if I think of anything else.
